Who can say the N word?
Debate Information
The N word traces back to slavery, back to when the first Africans were brought on boats to the US, it gives negative connotations and is tied to the ideas back then that the African people were more animals than people, something to objectify, buy and sell. It is still used by some in that context, it has always been a way to make black people feel unworthy and inferior. The word is now used by many black people in casual conversation as a way to make the word approachable and survivable, the word is now used by them on their conditions. While at the same time it is possible to argue that it should be used by no-one due to how offensive it is and the history surrounding the word.
Who do you think can say it? Who can they say it to? Are there exceptions to when a certain race/culture may say it (e.g. songs, books)?
